Chris Roberts mother Czech spy!

Hmmn, "traitor to the British people" or "traitor to the British establishment"?

Were the Tories of Thatcher, Mellor and John Moore acting in the interests of the British people or the British establishment?

There were and are many people who's public front as a politician mask their real pay masters.................paymasters who certainly do not pay them to act in the public interest or any other interest that conflicts with their own agenda for that matter.

When the Daily Mail espoused the international Fascist movement in the thirties and hence the odious German Nazi Party, they were even then describing the Socialist movement and hence the British Labour Party and Trade Unions as "Communists"

At the same time the British Royal Family were surreptitiously "buttering their bread on the other side" just in case and maintaining their right wing sympathies in their old German homeland.

Don't forget these are the establishment who escalated the Balkan crisis of 1914 (The assasination of the heir to the Austro-Hungarian Hapsburg throne, Archduke Franz Ferdinand) into a catastrophic confrontation between three major powers- Great Britain, Germany and Russia who each had grandsons of Queen Victoria as their Heads of State. Thus followed the Great War and within twenty five years the Second World War which in itself became inevitable through the greedy reparations demanded of Germany by the victors of the first conflict.

Were the perpetrators of that wholesale slaughter of the working classes operating in the National Interest or their own "pig in the tough" creaming off of the profits of armament manufacture?

Never condemn an individual on the banner headlines of a media mogul whose interests and thus paymaster you have not fully researched!

Surely Chris Roberts' mother's crime against humanity was giving birth to Chris Roberts.

Any other misdemeanors pale into insignificance compared to that!

Particularly interested to see the work carried out on "Sako" in the article.

It just states that son Christopher is said to have returned to UK. If only the Mail knew how much worse it got.

There's the full link.

I think the following message from a certain "Sara" sums up your typical MOS reader!

If she has only just been found out and nothing bad has happened between Russia and Britain involving compromised info? I would say she was a rubbish spy!

We don't know who lives in this country anymore - so there could be thousands of foreign nationals waiting in the the shadows to destroy our nations fabric at anytime.

Our nation's fabric eh? What next week? Laura Ashley : My life in Hezbollah?

"83 years as a 'sleeping spy, for the Kaiser" - Princess Alice of Battenburg (not the cake!)

"The Queen Mothers' Third Nipple"

"The Duke of Edinburgh murdered my son" - oh no, on second thoughts.

Now they're proper fruit loop conspiracy theories Chris. Every one knows it would have been curtains for Laura if she had even dared.

Once when I was driving the number 30 an old buffer said to me "you can tell that Tony Benn's a Communist, he catches the bus every day"

.............'and you sir,what are you; indeed what am I - I'm driving the ruddy thing?'

Never did get an answer!

I duly donned the surgical gloves for a brisk stroll up the hill to WH Smith to read a classic Mail attempt to link the Labour Party of the 1980s - and by dint, the current government - to the Soviet Union of the Cold War. Well, I suppose they've got to keep up a fine tradition stretching back to the Zinoviev Letter of the 1920s and beyond. As for spying on those who governed this country during the 1980s, there are a few of us around who might be tempted to give her a medal. Ah, but I've mellowed in my attitude towards politics and rival football teams, so let's just enjoy the story.

I was always intrigued by the Chris Roberts Czech link and thought it highly unusual - and quite endearing really - that a simple British family should seek a life in such a socialist paradise at the time of Thatcherism. In retrospect there had to be a story somewhere. It'll be interesting whether - with the Herald Express being part of the Mail group - we'll get a Chris Roberts angle to this in due course.

Maybe - by greasing the wheels of the Eastern Bloc political system - it all explains CR's fast-tracking into the all-conquering Viktoria Zizkov team of the late 1980s which, as you recall, barnstormed through Europe.

And what of the lad's "selection" for an England U21 squad? Was this an attempt at "entryism" so favoured by the Left in those days? I know Lawrie McMenemy, the then-U21 manager, denied all knowledge of CR but you've now got to question his credentials. Beneath the ex-Guardsman persona was Lawrie Mc really a Commie?

And what of Lubos Kubik? Was he the third man? Or the fourth man? Or even the fifth comrade in a square back four? Mark my words this isn't the last we'll hear of it.

At least it seems that Chris's mum - daubed TRAITOR IN A HEADSCARF (it's front page stuff) - was a pretty fine spy. Take her assessment of David Mellor:

(Mellor is )...a "highly sophisticated cunning politician" and a "slick operator – a smooth-tongued oily character, who is undoubtedly sustained by his image of himself and his own inflated sense of self-importance. His danger is that he is cunning and calculating. He probably drinks brandy at the end of dinner – most Tory MPs do, it’s considered the 'done thing' at Westminster. Many a slip of the tongue has been made after several brandies."

Who'd have thought it? Only a fine, fearless, perceptive operator embedded deep in the heart of the British Establishment could have discovered that. Okay she didn't detect David Mellor's weakness for women but nobody's perfect are they?

And then there was her father - Chris's granddad, of course (they're all at it!) - who tipped her off about a military arms factory near Taunton. If, as I suspect, that's the Royal Ordnance factory at Puriton, near Bridgwater, that's the sort of Soviet-style surveillance activity that can only be matched by looking out of the window near Junction 23 of the M5.

But, of course, the most devastating news for the Torquay United community was that Agent Kilburn (Cynthia to you and me) was required to use the codename "Sako" (Czech for "jacket" according to the Mail) when referring to Margaret Thatcher. Does this mean that the screamer against Bristol Rovers was actually scored by the ex-British prime minister under the heavy disguise of a 6 feet 7 inch Frenchman? Perhaps next week's paper will tell us more.

As for me, it's the last you'll hear of me for a while. Like Cynthia I'm an ex-Labour Party candidate (South Ribble Borough Council 1983). I also saw Inter Bratislava at Everton the following year. The net is tightening. Dave will paste my postcard from the Black Sea.
